SFP+ transceiver-module BlueOptics JL737A-BO 10km aluminium

The BlueOptics JL737A-BO 10km Aluminium is an SFP+ fiber optic transceiver module designed for 10G high-speed optical links over single-mode fiber. Constructed with an aluminium housing and weighing approximately 20 grams, the module follows MSA form-factor standards and uses an LC simplex connector. It supports point-to-point transmission up to 10,000 meters and implements separate transmit and receive wavelengths (typical for 10GBASE-BX-D style operation) to enable simultaneous bi-directional communication on a single fiber.

Advantages

The module offers a compact SFP+ form factor with low weight and durable aluminium housing suitable for dense network environments. It supports long-reach single-mode links up to 10 km while maintaining compatibility with MSA-compliant equipment. Built and tested for interoperability with major vendor platforms, the transceiver provides diagnostics-capable operation and adheres to established electrical and optical interface standards for reliable network integration.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber up to 10 km
• Interconnects between switches, routers and storage systems
• High-speed backbone or aggregation links in data centers and enterprise networks
• Fiber links requiring LC simplex connections and compact SFP+ modules

Key specifications

• Interface type: SFP+
• Maximum reach: 10,000 meters over single-mode fiber
• Connector: LC simplex
• Transceiver housing: Aluminium
• Typical weight: 0.02 kg
• Optical operation: Bi-directional wavelengths for simultaneous Tx/Rx on a single fiber (10GBASE-BX-D style)

How to use

Insert the SFP+ transceiver firmly into an SFP+ port on a compatible switch, router or storage device while the device is powered according to the vendor's guidance. Connect an LC simplex single-mode fiber patch cord to the transceiver and route the fiber to the corresponding remote transceiver. Ensure the transmit and receive fiber ends are correctly paired for bi-directional operation. Verify link status via the host device management interface and, if available, read digital diagnostic monitoring (DDM) values to confirm optical power and temperature parameters.

Recommendations

Use single-mode LC simplex patch cords and ensure both ends use compatible bi-directional transceivers with matching wavelength assignment. Confirm that the host hardware supports SFP+ modules and DDM/DOM if diagnostic monitoring is required. For optimal performance, follow vendor guidelines for handling optical modules to avoid contamination of connectors and maintain clean fiber endfaces.
